Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress December 2, 1895, Part I

Mr. Denby to Mr. Uhl .

Legation of the United States,
Peking , June 15, 1895 . (Received July 31.)

No. 2268.]

Sir: I have the honor to confirm my telegram of this date.

The Imperial Government is doing what it can to check the spread of the riots, but it seems to be powerless. Great fears are entertained for the safety of the foreigners at Chungking. This port is inaccessible to steamers, so that no assistance can be furnished by the foreign powers.

I have, etc.,

Charles Denby
